Discussion

Encryption is only as good as the encryption modules in use. Unapproved cryptographic module algorithms cannot be verified or be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DOD data may be compromised due to weak algorithms. The use of TLS provides confidentiality of data in transit between the application server and client. FIPS 140-2-approved TLS versions include TLS V1.0 or greater. TLS must be enabled and non-FIPS-approved SSL versions must be disabled. NIST SP 800-52 specifies the preferred configurations for government systems.
